Times Of Israel: Trump orders inquiry into ‘conspiracy’ to hide Biden’s congitive decline
President Trump has ordered an investigation into claims that aides to former President Biden conspired to conceal his cognitive decline during his presidency. This follows ongoing Republican assertions about Biden's mental fitness, particularly after a poor debate performance last year.
Biden has strongly denied the allegations, asserting he made all decisions during his presidency. The investigation will examine the use of an autopen for signing documents and whether there was any deception regarding Biden's mental state. The situation has led to increased tensions within the Democratic Party over Biden's leadership.
Fox News: GREGG JARRETT: Biden, the ‘marionette president; and the case of the runaway autopen
There are growing concerns that President Joe Biden may not have been fully in control during his presidency, with allegations that a group of White House staffers operated a de facto presidency. Investigations by the DOJ and House Oversight Committee are looking into the legitimacy of pardons and executive orders issued under Biden's name, particularly focusing on his mental fitness and the potential unauthorized use of an autopen for signatures.
Biden has denied these claims, asserting he made all decisions regarding pardons and executive orders. However, evidence suggests that aides may have concealed his cognitive decline and acted without his consent. This situation raises serious questions about the integrity of presidential actions and the potential for abuse of power.
Fox News: DHS says Democratic senator's husband removed from Biden TSA watchlist despite flying with possible terrorist
The Department of Homeland Security has accused New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen of lobbying to have her husband, William "Billy" Shaheen, removed from a TSA watchlist after he allegedly traveled with a known or suspected terrorist multiple times. DHS claims this reflects a politicization of TSA's watchlisting program under the Biden administration.
DHS alleges that former TSA administrator David Pekoske granted Billy Shaheen a blanket exemption from security screening despite these concerns, while others, including Tulsi Gabbard, faced scrutiny. The Trump administration argues this misuse of the program undermines security and serves political interests.

The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services significantly narrowed in April to $61.6 billion, down from $138.3 billion in March, marking the largest monthly improvement on record.
